Colonel Panic my memory fails me
but maybe what rcrsn51 suggested to
test iso with his isoboot? You would get
a good picture of how Manjaro acts and
the programs it has and how you feel for them.

Almost every iso boot with his USB codes.

I have use his isobooter for Linuxmint Chrunchbang
Solus amd SoLud linux and Zorin
and many more and it almost always work.
Maybe one iso out of 50 fail and that could be me
not getting it. Very easy set up. Use link in my signature
to find his thread here on the forum. It will be live
and you can save music and pictures but not
the personal settings.like timezone or keyboard_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

would it load if I delete the showopts if that is related to MBR?
I have Ms Vista so it make use of NST for to put some kind of
bootloader on it. Vista is kind ofdifferent so such was needed and
maybe that explain why it does not boot???

So would love that somebody give some advice on
how to boot this OSon NTFS frugal boot "live"

No hurry I can wait being a pensionist/retired person
One have all the time in the world.

I failed to boot it frugally so most likely
it want the ntfs-3g to be installed for to use NTFS partition._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

The important bit is the 'archisolabel=NTFS' bit.
NTFS is the label I have given sda1 using Gparted. Your ntfs partition may already have a label (check in Gparted), if so use that label.
If not, you will have to boot using a LiveCD to label the partition, as you won't be able to when running from it.

Armchair itself use the i3 WM which is keyboard orientated - keyboard shortcuts are shown on first boot. Browser is dwb, which is also keyboard driven.
No idea about persistence yet, but it looks interesting anyway.

Like I said in my post, if you already have a label, use that one, no need to change. My partition did not have a lable to start with, so I had to add it. The name itself doesn't matter, I could have called it 'Godzilla'.

Keef I don't remember but I think it gave some error code
and then failed to boot. Maybe it need the partition to be linux
and not NTFS?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

For their latest offering - 14.1Beta - they have jumped ship again and are using Slacko5.6 as their base + LxPup-by-SFS (an old version) + various bits from XFCE.

You would think that their users would get very confused by their repeated changes of direction.....

The worry is that quite a lot of people are downloading Simplicity and maybe read that it is a Puppy derivative without understanding that the Simplicity team seem to make no contribution or acknowledgement to the Puppy community.

I guess we should be pleased that they are able to use so many Puppy components without apparently finding any problems during their extensive testing.....

All the best

I've just downloaded Simplicity 14.1 (the latest version) now. It works OK as a live disk but my attempt to install it to my hard drive failed.

It's good that it's got Chromium working but apart from that I can't see that it's anything much of an improvement on Slacko or indeed any at all on the other Slacko derivatives (such as PHAT or XL) that we see here._________________Acer Aspire M1610 (Core 2 Duo, 2.3 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive running OpenSUSE 13.2 Edu-Life, Sparky 4.0 RC1, Neptune 4.3, Absolute 14.11, Korora 21 Mate, Vector 7.1 Light 64-bit, LXLE 14.04.2, Puppy Tahr 6.02 Mate and Puppy Precise 5.7.1 Large.Last edited by Colonel Panic on Thu 02 Jan 2014, 11:57; edited 1 time in total

I previously had Ubuntu 8.03 on my system but it developed and issue where when you clicked on the shutdown button, it disappeared. Of course Ubuntu want you to use the latest version. I tried Lubuntu - slow as a wet week. I have tried FatDog 64 but it seems to run out of puff after running for a while - especially with a couple of dozen web pages open
